WARM UP YOUR ARSENAL TAILOR HUNTERS

To all you landbased anglers who like to chase big tailor and salmon - this evening should really be prime time.

For the first time in ages there is a perfect south westerly forecast to be hitting the metro area this afternoon - and the reports are that the big tailor and salmon have been on the bite.

I know I will be hitting it up as soon as I can get out of the office.

I have my gear ready to go in the back of my car.

Went for my first landbased this arvo in ages,  JT got one 3kg golden trev and a big occy that will hopefully become a new pet at work. :)  The lighthouse was howling but it dropped out to be a somewhat ok arvo.  Have decided to wait out till tomorrow arvo to give it a crack on the westside.

Good luck this arvo fellas.

Yep, pop down the pharmacy and get a dose of "MAN THE F... UP" lay down the law and accept the inevitable drawn out punishment. But at least you'll get out.
